Hey guys! Etsy has just created coupon codes for our shops so in celebration, and because it's Cyber Monday, I'm offering you a special code! Use BECCASCYBER10 to get 10% off your order for today only (or until I remember to deactivate the code which will probably be tomorrow morning around 7am). I just listed new diapers, and there are lots of wool products, so it's a good time to buy one of my diapers if you've been on the fence about trying them out.

With the Thanksgiving break I've been able to get some knitting and sewing done. I've listed these as a custom order for Saskia at Sunflowerradiantlove (we actually made a trade)

And these for the general public. I hope you like them!

Including, my first large diaper! I finally FINALLY perfected the pattern (and I actually perfected the medium as well, but I haven't listed my new medium yet because I'm busy making some more for Bunny).

I haven't meant to be so absent from my blog, but for the past two weeks, someone has been sick in my family. Never more than one of us at the same time, but if one of us gets better, then another gets sick--sometimes again--so I've been duly exhausted.

When it was my turn to get sick at the beginning of this week, my husband sweetly stayed home with me and did his work from home so that I could just lounge and rest and he could run after Bunny if she needed assistance. It worked out well, since I was better the next day (just in time to take care of a virus Bunny caught).

But Bunny loves me. She wants to inhabit the same space that I inhabit at all times if possible. I wanted to be able to interact with her, but I just couldn't chase her around the house or play blocks with her so we pulled up some Sesame Street Clips from youtube and this is how she watched them with me. Later on, she put her whole body up on top of my chest so that my head was between her legs. That's when I called in the big guns--AKA Daddy--and he rescued me from my smelly plight! Ha ha!

So, I found the original tutorial that inspired me to make my own Dad's dress shirt dress. I didn't use this tutorial, so I can't vouch for how easy/difficult it is, but here's the URL if you want to try it out yourself or simply get inspired to create your own pattern as I did. :-D

About Me

I'm an amateur seamstress, a pretty decent knitter, and also a cloth diapering, baby wearing, breastfeeding, and baby food making mom to a creative, loving, independent, potty-trained, "I'll do it myself" four year old girl and a happy, chunky, adorable new baby boy who is quickly stealing all of our hearts. In addition to being a part time stay-at-home-mom, I'm a part time Spanish teacher so sometimes I feel like a JILL of all trades :-D.

Some inspiration from Max Lucado

"You see, he didn't have to go. He had a choice. He could have stayed. He could have kept his mouth shut. He could have ignored the call or at least postponed it. And had he chosen to stay, who would've known? Who would have blamed him? "He could have come back as a man in another era when society wasn't so volatile, when religion wasn't so stale, when people would listen better. "He could have come back when crosses were out of style. "But his heart wouldn't let him. If there was hesitation on the part of his humanity, it was overcome by the compassion of his divinity. His divinity heard the voices. His divinity heard the hopeless cries of the poor, the bitter accusations of the abandoned, the dangling despair of those who are trying to save themselves. "And you can be sure of one thing. Among the voices that found their way into that carpentry shop in Nazareth was your voice. Your silent prayers uttered on tearstained pillows were heard before they were said. Your deepest questions about death and eternity were answered before they were asked. And your direst need, your need for a Savior, was met before you ever sinned. " -Max Lucado
